“At Boys & Girls Clubs we’re all about making sure our kids have a plan for after they graduate from high school,” said Service Director Tasha Robinson-Banks in a statement. “These days, a high school diploma is necessary but not sufficient. We need to ensure our Club members know their options for what comes next.”

Organizers said the drive-thru setup will allow for people with COVID-19 concerns to remain in their cars while receiving information and talking with college representatives.
